Valuing CTS Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of CTS Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
CTS Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, CTS Corporation shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
CTS Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.05. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into CTS Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
CTS Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $104.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a CTS Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 7.58% of net profits
Recently CTS Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CTS Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CTS Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.16 per share.
While CTS Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that CTS Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
CTS Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
CTS Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 August 1999 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your CTS Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for CTS Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted CTS Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, CTS Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $38.3587 up to $59.68. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while CTS Corporation's is 0.58. This would suggest that CTS Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
